After Roy and the girls left, a group of teenagers arrived at the se of the explosion. They examihe rge crater with serious expressions.
"What happened here? How did this crater appear?"
"I don't know. There are traagic, but no signs of a battle. Was it caused by someone practig magic?"
"Yuki, you're monit the Demon Lord's successor. Have you noticed anything unusual tely?"
This group was also from the Hero , and the girl they addressed was Yuki Nonaka.
"Mio Naruse retly acquired an older brother. Nothing else out of the ordinary," Yuki replied calmly.
"A brother?" one of the boys scoffed.
"We should report this to the vilge. And the vilge elders seem to have a ive view of the Demon Lord's successor. They might order us to eliminate her soon—" another boy with short blond hair said with a frown.
"Well, there's nothing we do about it. We just have to follow orders," a third boy shrugged.
Unbeknownst to them, a masked figure was watg them from a nearby tree.
It was Yahiro Takigawa—
He smirked, listening to their versation.
"Roy—you're more than you appear to be," he muttered.
He had witnessed Roy's Magic Bullet and was shocked by its destructive power.
It was unbelievable that an Average Magic Bullet could be so powerful.
This further firmed his suspis about Roy.
He decided to test Roy again.
...
Meanwhile, Mio and Maria were even more enthusiastic about teag Roy magic.
If an Average Magic Bullet could be so powerful, how strong would his more advanced spells be?
One day at sio suddenly felt unwell, and Roy took her to the nurse's office.
The school nurse was Chisato Hasegawa—a mature aiful woman.
She was also Afureia—a fh-ranking god amongst the Ten Gods of the Divine Realm.
"Hasegawa-sensei, is Miht?" Roy asked.
He was surprised that Mio could get sick. It didn't seem logical.
Chisato chuckled and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. "She's fi's just her time of the month."
"Oh..." Roy was relieved.
He hadn't expected Mio to be too embarrassed to tell him about it.
"So, don't do anything naughty to her during this time, okay?" Chisato warned, pyfully poking Roy's forehead.
Roy's face twitched. He was embarrassed that she had seen through him.
"Ahem... I uand, Hasegawa-sensei," he replied awkwardly.
"Good." Chisato smiled ahe room.
Roy sighed. That was embarrassing.
"Mio, why didn't you tell me?" he asked, turning to Mio.
"I..." Mio blushed and looked away.
How could she tell him something like that?
Roy turo get her a gss of water.
But Mio grabbed his arm.
"Don't go!" she pleaded.
"Don't worry, I'm not leaving. I'm just getting you some water," Roy reassured her, gently patting her head.
Mio rexed.
She took the gss of water he offered and sipped it, her face still flushed.
"Um..." she begaantly.
"What is it, Mio?" Roy asked, looking at her curiously.
"What if the curse activates?" she asked in a small voice.
Roy almost ughed.
Did she think the curse meant she had to do "that" with him?
He leaned closer and whispered in her ear, "Don't worry, there's another pce we do it."
"What?!" Mio gasped, her face turning crimson!
They stayed in the nurse's office for a while longer until Mio felt better.
It was already evening when they finally left.
Just as they stepped out of the office, Maria came running towards them.
"Maria, what's wrong?" Mio asked, surprised by her panicked expression.
"Mio-sama—it's terrible! There are Stray Demons surrounding the school!" Maria excimed.
Mio frowned.
"Let's go check it out," Roy suggested.
He had noticed Yuki Nonaka fighting the Stray Demons outside.
And more and more Stray Demons were gathering. There were already over twenty of them, and their numbers were still increasing.
Mio and Maria nodded in agreement.
They couldn't run away now that the Stray Demons had surrouhe school.
And they couldn't let the Demons harm the students who would be ing to school tomorrow.
....
They reached the school grounds and saw Yuki battling the Stray Demons.
She was wearing armor on her arms and legs and wielding a sharp sword.
Her usually calm and collected demeanor was repced by a fierce determination.
Even Roy was impressed.
"Let's help her," Mio said.
"If we don't stop these Stray Demons, they'll destroy the school."
"Alright!" Maria agreed, transf into her succubus battle form.
She charged into the fray, pung a Stray Demon and shattering it.
Yuki g her but didn't say anything. Now wasn't the time fuments. They had to focus oing the Stray Demons.
As a member of the Hero , her duty was not only to monitor Mio but also to protect Humans.
Seeing so many Stray Demons, she immediately suspected Mio.
Only the Demon Lord's successor could attraany Demons.
"Onii-, let's help too! But remember what I told you, don't use too much magic," Mio reminded Roy.
She didn't want him to actally destroy the school, like he had doh the Magic Bullet in the forest.
"Don't worry, I trol my magiow," Roy assured her with a sigh.
He was a bit ahat his trol ic was being questioned. But as someoh the Magic Authority, he could indeed trol his power perfectly.
"Okay, the's go!"
Mio hen raised her hand, summoning several magic circles in the air.
The magic circles glowed, and several Stray Demons were instantly ied.
It seemed she was trying to show off in front of Roy.
Roy chuckled, then waved his hand, creating tless Magic Bullets behind him.
The Magic Bullets swarmed towards the remaining Stray Demons.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
After a series of explosions, all the Stray Demons were eliminated.
"!!!"
"This—"
Mio, Maria, and even Yuki were stunned.
Yahiro Takigawa, who had been watg from the shadows, was also shocked. He had always thought highly of Roy, but he had still uimated him.
To be able to wipe out so many Stray Demons in an instant—even he couldn't do that.
But seeing Roy's nont expression, his suspi grew.
...
There was another person watg the battle from the window of a in the school building.
It was Chisato Hasegawa.
Witnessing Roy's overwhelming power—she couldn't help but adjust her gsses, a glint of i in her eyes.
"Roy, you're quite iing." she muttered with a smirk.
...
The battle wasn't over yet.
More Stray Demons appeared as soon as the previous ones were defeated.
And Yahiro Takigawa, wearing his mask, emerged from the shadows.
Of course, Roy khat this was just a puppet trolled by the real Yahiro.
Yahiro wouldn't risk exposing himself directly.
"Who are you?" Mio demanded, gring at the masked figure.
Maria and Yuki also looked at him warily.
"Hahaha, successor of the Demon Lord—you should know that your demonic power stantly attracts Stray Demons. Why don't you just hand it over?" Yahiro's voice was distorted by the mask, sounding strange aallic.
"Hey! You're the one whht these Stray Demons here! Don't try to frame Mio-sama!" Maria retorted.
Yuki frowned. She had initially assumed that Mio was responsible for attrag the Stray Demons.
But it seemed that wasn't the case.
Mio also gred at Yahiro angrily.
"Hahaha, you're wrong. Both the Stray Demons and I were attracted by the Demon Lord's power," Yahiro cackled.
They were speechless. He was right.
"It's not just me. More and more powerful and Evil beings will e for you. So, hand over the Demon Lord's power. or those around you will eventually get hurt," Yahiro tinued.
Mio lowered her head, her resolve wavering.
He was right.
What would she do if she entered someone she couldn't defeat?
The thought etting hurt, or even killed—terrified her.
"I..." she began, but Roy interrupted her.
"Leave this to me," he said gently, patting her head.
Mio looked at him with her big, i eyes, then nodded.
Roy was actually in favor of Mio giving up the Demon Lord's power. She already possessed great potential and strength.
Yahiro was just a boy her age. If it weren't for the burden of the Demon Lord's power, she could easily defeat him.
The Demon Lord's power was currently hindering her growth.
